The New.

Sometimes it truly astounds me that so many people can't seem to accept the "new" or "different" ideas. I've been thinking about how the audience rioted during Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring way back in 1913 when it premiered. The public hated it basically because the music was discordant and the ballet was incredibly different than what they were used to seeing. It actually makes me sad that the composer, musicians, and performers had to deal with all that chaos during what should have been a great performance. I think a performance is like a gift that is to be given to the audience. It would be incredibly rude if someone gave you a gift and then you pitched a fit because it wasn't exactly what you had wanted or hoped for. I personally think that audiences should go into shows with open minds and if the performance still doesn't meet their satisfaction, they should leave quietly. The dancers, actors, musicians, etc., put a lot of work into what they do and everyone should respect that.
If something is different and you aren’t as comfortable with it, that doesn’t automatically make it a bad thing. I'm sure that when cars first came out, lots of people were horrified that anyone would actually think of using such a thing but now, they are one of the most commonly used ways of transportation.

As said so wonderfully in Disney/Pixar’s film Ratatouille:
“The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends.”
